How to evaluate Taobao UED’s Midway Framework front-end and back-end separation

1. It expands the scope of influence of the front-end,

It is extremely important for technical influence, recruitment, wheel building, paper publishing, promotion and defense. You must know that the highest level in Alibaba's front-end is P8, and the number of people can be counted on one hand. This cannot but be said to be caused by the front-end layer being too thin and too far away from the core of the business. Now that the server has been technically invaded, the skill tree has finally opened a new branch, and the possibilities have suddenly become countless times greater. It seems that a new continent has been discovered all of a sudden. . The desire for personal growth is an irresistible temptation for a large number of senior front-end engineers facing bottlenecks!

2. Changes in the front-end development model.

If you play with the backend yourself, you no longer have to look at the schedule and coordination of backend projects, both technically and project-wise, which greatly improves the convenience and autonomy of development and testing. Alibaba has long ago developed a development server written in nodejs for internal testing. Now that it is online, it is also a matter of accumulation. This provides the possibility to improve development efficiency and further squeeze out front-end labor.

3. Promote the evolution of Alibaba’s back-end web framework.

This is something that not many people, even Alibaba people, have not noticed (the front-end does not understand webx, and the focus of the back-end has shifted). The webx framework has been released for a long time, and there have been very few recent technical upgrades. The technical form has fallen into Rigid, not keen to discover opportunities and adapt to changes in current mobile Internet trends, and unfortunately absent from the new era. With the arrival of nodejs, the reshuffle has begun. Front-end personnel's natural focus on multi-terminals, multi-screens, interactions, and experiences will blow a new wind into the back-end framework and inject vitality into this stagnant technical field. ——So I support back-end engineers learning nodejs.
